Displeased with the 2003 Toy Line - Page 3

[quote="X"]Let me share some advice, and being an adult, this is being shared in a mature manner. [\quote] Sounds good. I'll repsond in a mostly-mature manner.

Quote:

First off, we as consumers have the right to complain, but is it really worth it. Nagging about the sculpt of a peice of plastic should be the last of anyone's worries in times like these. Life is so much better if you just go with the flow. Now for those who are just wanting to debate, that's cool and all. The general feel I get out of thise topic is that of "Why can't they do things like this - let's send this to Playmates - I'm dissapointed in this line. That's not healthy in life, and sometimes shows that people gripe about the littlest things. However, you all have your individual lives, and no one can take that from you. That's why this is just an opinion, based on two sides.

When my money, that I work my butt off to earn, is being spent on this product, I have EVERY right to demand quality. Also, the reason we're griping is because we can plainly seen very easy things they can do to massively improve their product.

Quote:

Saying that, let me say that I for one am just glad they are making Turtle figures again, and am glad to see a new Cartoon on the air. Not many shows get revived and do well a second time. Look at this CGI G.I. Joe. Releasing a quirky made for TV movie on Cartoon Network, and a new DVD movie. I'm assuming there waiting for there moment when they would say, "Hey this sold a lot, so let's go ahead and pitch it as a new thirty minute show." Again, I assume that.

The show got revived to make money, plain and simple. And if a product is below what it could be, it's not going to make as much money, and if it's not making much money, it won't be around for very long.

Quote:

Like I said, I'll get what's given and be happy with it, cause they didn't really have to go through all of this. There didn't have to be a new show and figures, but they gave the fans their all, and in my opinion doing a fine job, and I'll take it as is.

See comment above this one. They didn't do it for us fans, they did it to improve their bottom line. Liscensed products make Mirage $$$. And they arn't giving us their all, as is apparent buy all of the complaints the toy line's starting to generate.

Feel free to share your thoughts on this post, but please do it in a mature fashion. Not many forums around with people who aren't afraid to listen and see both sides of the street.

I like to think I did this in a mature manner... PM me if you think I didn't.

One last thing though, who really get's in the shower and thinks about Ninja Turtles. I mean you could be thinking about a super hot chick, or what you're gonna be doing that day for fun, but Ninja Turltes. Someone must be a uber Turtle fan

Trust, there are some. And most of them inhabit these boards. *coughIlluminaughticough*

I'm still thinking of April in the shower...

But yeah, lately the line has started to suck. First off the ruined Usagi with that stupid action feature that even bends the swords on his back. Then that lame as hell fall-apart feature is really raping the line. I could care less for Gen... Traximus hurt... BUT NOT FEUDAL SHREDDER TOO DAMN IT!! I went from happy to disappointed when I found out they were making a Fuedal Japan Shredder and then seeing that accursed crank on his back. Karai is lazy, with the exception of a few changes here and there, she's basically Shredder with Karai's head... And last but not least.... the TMNT's upcoming variants like the Monster Trapper TMNT and Prehistoric TMNT got them lookin like they smoked some serious weed. Sorry, the Prehistoric line looked kinda cool, but the HORRIBLY OVERYLY-SILLY/STUPID facial expressions they have killed it for me.

so far the only one of the newer figures I'm considering buying is the Ultimate Ninja. No stupid gimmicks or fall-apart crap, just a cool figure based on a cool evil character.

I've long ago decided I'm not buying anymore until they increase the articulation.
